Find the Right Minibus for Your Group

Mini Bus Hire around West Yorkshire

Fleet

Looking for a reliable minibus for your next group trip? Our Fleet in Keighley covers everything from compact 8–12 seaters to 15–16 seater executive models, all chauffeur driven and ready for local runs or longer West Yorkshire journeys.

Seating options

Choose the right size: smaller minibuses for short local trips around Keighley and Silsden, larger 15–16 seaters for school trips or corporate days out. Think about luggage space as well as passenger numbers — you don’t want bags on laps.

Comfort features

Modern comforts matter. Expect reclining seats, air conditioning, USB charging ports and tinted windows on many of our vehicles. These extras turn travel time into part of the trip — not a chore.

Safety

Safety is non-negotiable. All drivers are DBS-checked, fully insured and experienced in group travel. Vehicles undergo regular maintenance and safety checks so you can relax. Our commitment to safety ensures a smooth, punctual journey every time.

Professionalism

Drivers are trained to be punctual, courteous and familiar with West Yorkshire roads. Whether it’s navigating to Ilkley for a wedding or managing a tight festival timetable, professionalism is standard.

Booking

Need to book quickly? We offer 24/7 availability and can handle last-minute requests. For busy weekends, book early to secure the exact vehicle you need. For complex itineraries — airport transfers to Leeds Bradford Airport, then on to a venue — we’ll coordinate multiple vehicles if required.

How to choose

Start by working out passenger numbers and luggage. Then decide on journey type — short hop, day tour, or overnight trip — and whether you want onboard extras. If you’re unsure, call us and we’ll recommend the right minibus for your plan.

Compare

How does minibus hire stack up against other options? Compared to hiring cars, self-drive vans or full-size coaches, a chauffeur-driven minibus saves time, avoids parking stress and keeps the group together. You get convenience, safety and a stress-free journey without the designated driver problem.

When to pick a minibus

Minibuses work best for groups that want to travel together and enjoy door-to-door service — airport minibus transfers, wedding parties, school trips and corporate outings are all ideal. For very large groups, multiple minibuses or a coach might be more efficient.

Features

Our vehicles come with practical features that make a difference: luggage storage for airport trips, reclining seats for longer journeys, and entertainment options for younger passengers. Executive minibus rental choices offer leather seats and extra legroom for business clients.

Accessibility

We can accommodate groups with varying mobility needs. Tell us in advance so we can choose vehicles with suitable access and space for mobility aids.

Events

What’s the occasion? From weddings at venues near Keighley Town Hall to school trips to the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, we cover it all. Festivals, sports fixtures, airport transfers and corporate days out across Bradford, Bingley and Denholme — we’ll get your group there on time and together.

Typical occasions

Airport transfers, wedding transport, school trips, corporate travel, day tours, family outings and festival runs. If it involves a group, a minibus is likely the easiest option.

Local

We’re rooted in Keighley and know West Yorkshire well. That means smooth routes to Leeds Bradford Airport, swift links from Keighley rail station to Haworth and Ilkley, and insider knowledge of the best drop-off points near Cliffe Castle and local hotels. We also regularly run services to Silsden, Bingley, Fairfield and Denholme.

Ever tried navigating narrow lanes after a long day at the moors? We have — and that local knowledge saves time and stress for our passengers. It’s the little things, like knowing quieter access roads and the best place to stop for a quick comfort break, that make journeys feel effortless.

Pricing

Affordable group travel doesn’t mean compromising on quality. We price by vehicle type, duration and mileage, and always aim for transparent quotes — no nasty surprises. Want an estimate? Provide passenger numbers, pickup location and destination and we’ll send a clear, competitive quote.

What affects price

Factors include vehicle size, distance, time of day, and whether you need waiting time or multiple stops. Peak weekends and major events can increase demand, so early booking helps you secure the best rates.

Transport options compared
Option	Typical capacity	Best for	Pros	Cons
Minibus with driver	8–16	Group transfers, events, airport runs	Convenience, group together, no parking stress	Less efficient for single travellers
Full-size coach	40–70	Large school trips, tours	High capacity, cost-effective per head	Harder to park, may need larger venues
Cars	1–5	Small groups, solo travellers	Flexible, low cost for individuals	Multiple cars split the group, parking hassle
Self-drive van	1–3 passengers + luggage	Large items, self-drive moves	Control over schedule	Driver responsibility, no passenger convenience

Planning

Here are practical tips to make booking simple: pick the correct size, allow extra luggage space, book early for busy dates, and let us know about stops or special requirements. Coordinating multiple vehicles is straightforward — we plan rendezvous points and arrival windows so everyone arrives together.

Luggage and space

Always allow a little extra capacity for luggage. Airport minibus transfers to Leeds Bradford Airport need room for suitcases, while day trips to Ilkley Moor might only need small rucksacks.

Experience

Why trust us? We’re Private Coach Hire — a family of vehicles and drivers who’ve ferried wedding parties from Keighley churches to receptions, run school trips to the Worth Valley Railway, and delivered stress-free corporate travel across Bradford and beyond. We take pride in every trip and treat your plans like they matter — because they do.

I remember a crisp autumn wedding at a village hall near Ilkley. Guests arrived chilled from the moor air; by the time they stepped off the minibus, the smiles had settled and the whole party felt ready for the day. That’s the kind of quietly reliable service we love providing.
